Things to remember in a Real Estate market shift

"The Real estate market has shifted drastically and dramatically. Sales volume and the number of transactions have dropped significantly. Inventory has reached an all time high. Buyers have never been more reluctant. Fear is rampant, anxiety is high, and people are getting out of the business left and right. Sound familiar? Sure it does. The year was 1979 and thats what was happening to Gary Keller." Gary Keller, Shift

This is a quote from the beginning of Gary Kellers new book Shift. Deb Atchley is now hostinga book club for all Keller Williams agents and people hoping to be a part of KW. We are on top of working through a market, and leaders like Gary Keller are always helping us break through!

How To Prepare For An Ice Storm!

I hear that OKC is in for an ice storm! I really hate cold weather and I especially hate driving when the roads are icy. So I looked up some tips on how to prepare for an ice storm. I found these helpful tips on http://www.ehow.com/how_2063908_prepare-ice-storm.html.
Step 1: Watch the weather. Notice when conditions present themselves for the possibility of an ice storm. Not all ice storms are predictable, but meteorologists can let you know when conditions are favorable.
Step 2: Prepare an emergency kit with flashlights, batteries, water, non-perishable foods, hand can-opener, a first aid kit, prescription medications, blankets and warm clothes for each member of the family. Make a checklist of things included in the emergency kit. Update the list if you use anything from the kit so you can replace it as soon as possible.
Step 3: Have a charged cell phone ready so you can contact emergency officials. In an ice storm, power may be cut off for several days.
Step 4:Unplug all electrical devices such as televisions, microwaves and computers. If the power goes out, unplug all remaining electrical devices and turn off the main breaker.
Step 5: Get your car ready by filling the tank with gasoline and storing extra blankets in the trunk. Have a first aid kit and an emergency road-side kit in the vehicle also.
